FRESH from her radio gaffe in which she claimed Margaret Thatcher was her "living political hero", Taunton Deane MP Rebecca Pow had an embarrassing moment on Twitter today.

Ms Pow tweeted her congratulations to Chris Grayling on becoming the new Conservative Party chairman.

The Tory party had earlier announced on its Twitter account that the role had gone to Mr Grayling.

Both tweets have since been taken down.
